We prove the Strengthened Hanna Neumann Conjecture. We give a more direct cohomological interpretation of the conjecture in terms of "typical" covering maps, and use graph Galois theory to "symmetrize" the conjecture. The conjecture is then…

An old conjecture of Durfee 1978 bounds the ratio of two basic invariants of complex isolated complete intersection surface singularities: the Milnor number and the singularity (or geometric) genus. We give a counterexample for the case of…

We spell two conundrums, one of physical and another of mathematical nature, and explain why one helps to elucidate the other

This paper has two purposes. The first is to introduce the definition of Haantjes manifolds with symmetry. The second is to explain why these manifolds appear in the theory of integrable systems of hydrodynamic type and in topological field…

Ind-varieties of generalized flags have been studied for two decades. However, a precise statement of when two such ind-varieties, one or both being possibly ind-varieties of isotropic generalized flags, are isomorphic, has been missing in…

In this paper, we present two main results. First, by only one conjecture (Conjecture 2.9) for recognizing a vertex symmetric graph, which is the hardest task for our problem, we construct an algorithm for finding an isomorphism between two…

Slow-fast dynamical systems have two time scales and an explicit parameter representing the ratio of these time scales. Locally invariant slow manifolds along which motion occurs on the slow time scale are a prominent feature of slow-fast…

We present a computer-assisted approach to prove the existence of Hopf bubbles and degenerate Hopf bifurcations in ordinary and delay differential equations. We apply the method to rigorously investigate these nonlocal bifurcation…

We will present some (formal) arguments that any Feynman diagram can be understood as a particular case of a Horn-type multivariable hypergeometric function. The advantages and disadvantages of this type of approach to the evaluation of…

[1] investigates advanced connotations of Hardy and Rellich-type inequalities on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds, delving on deriving inequalities that incorporate poignant weight functions. These inequalities prolongate classical…

A flag manifold over a semifield K can be partitioned into "half i-circles" which are orbits of a K-action on that flag manifold. Here i is fixed and it corresponds to a simple reflection in the Weyl group. We prove (for certain K) a…

We present a simple set-theoretic proof of the Banach-Stone Theorem .We thus apply this Topological classification theorem to the still unsolved problem of topological classification of euclidean manifolds through two conjectures and…

The Hopf sign conjecture states that a compact Riemannian 2d-manifold M of positive curvature has Euler characteristic X(M)>0 and that in the case of negative curvature X(M) (-1)^d >0. The Hopf product conjecture asks whether a positive…

We propose a combinatorial approach to the following strengthening of Gal's conjecture: $\gamma(\Delta)\ge \gamma(E)$ coefficientwise, where $\Delta$ is a flag homology sphere and $E\subseteq \Delta$ an induced homology sphere of…

Inspired by an example of Grebogi et al [1], we study a class of model systems which exhibit the full two-step scenario for the nonautonomous Hopf bifurcation, as proposed by Arnold [2]. The specific structure of these models allows a…

The Hodge conjecture is shown to be equivalent to a question about the homology of very ample divisors with ordinary double point singularities. The infinitesimal version of the result is also discussed.

The language and methods of algebraic topology, particularly homotopy theory, have been extensively used in the study of the identification, the classification and the evolution of defects. Topological methods provide the means for the…

The concept of transparent and opaque horizons is defined. One example of opaqueness is the presence of a firewall. Two apparently contradictory statements are reconciled: The overwhelming number of black hole states have opaque horizons;…

Automatically verifying safety properties of programs is hard, and it is even harder if the program acts upon arrays or other forms of maps. Many approaches exist for verifying programs operating upon Boolean and integer values (e.g.…

In this paper we prove that a Finsler metrics has constant flag curvature if and only if the curvature of the induced nonlinear connection satisfies an algebraic identity with respect to some arbitrary second rank tensors. Such algebraic…
